intending to steal the ashes, pictures, and a flannel shirt. Good grief.

The wife of the deceased is the rightful owner of those things. If my husband dies, I keep his ashes.

A disappointing act from a Democrat, to be sure, but we're only human after all. I'd still vote for her over any Repug.

"retrieving Father's ashes from Stepmother's home''' yeah, quite the inexplicable 'scandal' there... hlthe2b Apr 26 #1

Legally they are the widow's, without a will they will go to the surviving partner ripcord Apr 26 #7

Oh, give it a break. I am only saying there is grief involved--not defending her becoming a class A burgler. hlthe2b Apr 26 #9

You asked who had more claim than the biological daughter and I told you the law ripcord Apr 26 #11

I am speaking morally. Legal rights do not always differentiate. hlthe2b Apr 26 #12

How can you decide what is moral if you don't have any facts? ripcord Apr 26 #13

I mentioned this in the post(s) you did not read. hlthe2b Apr 26 #14

Of course, no jumping to conclusions at all ripcord Apr 26 #15

Well, I could certainly say the same for you... hlthe2b Apr 26 #16

No one argues... but fingerwagging in such situations where grief is obviously at play is low rent hlthe2b Apr 26 #10

Regardless of her motives, she's certainly fucked up the DFL trifecta; the senate is now 33-33. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 26 #17

No matter what party I would actually give the benefit of the doubt chowder66 Apr 26 #18

Why would someone want to retrieve their parent's ashes in such a manner? LeftInTX Apr 26 #19

It's grief. It makes us do dumb things. Bucky Apr 26 #22
